    Parts For Sale 2009 F150

    Oh, worth mentioning that I started breaking in the new F200 on my 2120 yesterday and looks like I’m getting way better fuel economy. Seems like at 4200rpm and 25mph I’m getting 3.2mpg with a full tank of gas. Way better than my f150

    Parts For Sale 2009 F150

    Thanks for all the helpful guidance! Yah in hindsight I should have got some video of the boat running before pulling it out. But at that time I thought I was going to fix it myself lol…. I decided to just take the trade in on the motor which covered the cost of install of the new one. And...

    Parts For Sale 2009 F150

    thanks, this is useful to know as well. I'm curious, Did you just have the shop put the old engine in the shipping box that the new one came in and drive it home that way?

    Thanks for that advice, it’s helpful. I was also thinking of keeping the prop either as a spare or to sell, that’s easier to store than a 500 lb motor.

    Grounding trim tabs

    I recently had diner with a boat mechanic - I mentioned how much fouling I had on my trip tabs and how the zincs (on my tabs) were basically gone by the end of the season while the zincs on the motor were not so bad (boat is in a slip from April-Nov). He suggested that the trim tabs need to be...

    Second anchor storage on 2120?

    Im getting ready to take delivery on my 2009 leftover 2120 and I am wondering where folks keep their second anchor and line on their 2120s. The way they have this particular boat rigged there is one battery in each of the two stern boxes which makes them useless for storage of an anchor that...

    remote spotlight recomendations

    I see from many of the photos that many of you have remote spotlights mounted on your SCs. I'm looking for brand/model recomendations and mounting location recomendations. I was thinking front and center on top the cabin, but I see some guys have it mounted on the pulpit rail. The rail seems...
